A life-sized wooden monument to first lady Melania Trump has been erected in her home town in Slovenia but locals say the bizarre effigy is an insult to the famous former neighbor, according to a new reports.
The statue near the town of Sevnica commissioned by American conceptual artist Brad Downey, and carved out of a tree with a chainsaw by local craftsman Ales Zupevc, according to AFP depicts President Trumps wife with crude facial features and a formless blue dress as she waves a stumpy hand.
It is supposed to be based on the former models appearance at her husbands inauguration, where she wore a chic powder blue Ralph Lauren but residents say it looks more like a character from The Smurfs.
It doesnt look anything like Melania. Its a Smurfette. Its a disgrace, one resident

And the wave is far too animated.

Was going to say, that statues face probably has more likelihood of moving it's facial structure than Melania has...she got the Botox face freeze
